Rude, dismissive, no accountability, did not do anything for 8 months

Rudest lawyer I've ever encountered. Do not waste your time! After 6 months of nothing in QDRO and randomly blaming me for putting it on hold because I apparently made a call to their office to put it on hold. When I asked for court order for the hold, he "resumes it". When I asked him what has been ...done so far, he said "your problem will be handled and we're done talking" and hangs up on me. Very dismissive. I'm not sure how they allow him to practice still. From the reviews, it's apparently not just my experience with him. He twists what was said and asked to blame the clients. Beware!

As I stated-we received a request to put your file on hold from "you" and you confirmed it was not actually "you" it was someone else pretending to be you-likely on behalf of your ex-husband. We are submitting the documents to court now in response to your request. I understand you want us to 'investigate' this further-and we decline-we are not detectives and we understand you are upset at us for this. The process is back on track and we are completing it as retained.

He is good. He does listen to your questions and does the best to explain it to you. Considering we all had to follow the covid restrictions not always at the office they did great to accommodate me. We just need to be patient they always called back. Adriana is such a blessing to this practice al...ways trying to do anything to help me. Adriana always went out of her way understanding my needs and what I was going thru. Customer service overall it was excellent. I definitely would highly recommend them. Thank you again for understanding my situation. God bless you guys.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
